Marchers in west London, on their way to central London on the CND Aldermaston march in 1962. Visible is the distinctive black and white, round logo designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement in 1958 – now widely seen as a ‘peace sign’. Here a giant banner relates the CND campaign to the efforts in ending the British slave trade. The illustration is of a black slave in chains.

The illustration is of a black slave in chains. Visible is the distinctive black and white, round logo designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement in 1958 – now widely seen as a ‘peace sign’. The Aldermaston marches were anti-nuclear weapons demonstrations in the 1950s and 1960s, taking place on Easter weekend between the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston, Berkshire, England, UK and London, a distance of 52 miles (83 km). The marches, organised by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC) and then the Committee of 100, attracted tens of thousands of people and were the major part of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). This image is from an old amateur Kodak 35mm colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
